Cruising from St.Maarten to Antigua

We meet in Port de Plaisance, Sint Maarten on board Montana.

We will start our trip in Simpson Bay, Sint Maarten. Then, during a visit to “Maho Beach”, we can observe the landing aircraft at one of the most spectacular airports in the world. Finally, in the evening we can go to Soggy Dollar to have a party or meet some sailors in Lagoonies.

Our first tack leads us to St. Barth to get familiar with Montana. Here we can drink cocktails with the beautiful and rich or go shopping in the chic boutiques of the island. From here, we have several options for our further routing. After checking the wind forecast, we can decide which island we are heading for next.

Saba, “the unspoiled Queen”, with its great snorkelling spots and impressive rainforest and further the pristine St.Kitts and Nevis. Also, a side trip to Montserrat is possible, where the impact of the volcanic eruption from 1995-1997 is still visible. The last tack brings us to Antigua, our destination. There we visit the historic Nelson’s Dockyard before our trip ends with a “Dark and Stormy” in Skullduggery.

On our holiday trips, we can alter the stops on our trips according to the wishes of our guests. No sailing skills are required.

Our Guests Experiences

Alex Lomakin

I have learnt a lot over this time, be it regattas, twilight racing, ocean racing, delivery trips; it’s all been a fantastic time.

Guy Reeve

Sailing 800nm with David Hows on Ocean Gem from Southport to Lord Howe Island and Pittwater via Middleton and Elizabeth Reefs was an absolute blast and one of my all-time top trips, with conditions ranging from challenging to cruisy.

Peter Chapman

Having done a little sailing many years ago, I jumped at the chance to crew on David Hows’ Ocean Gem in ‘Twilight’ and offshore races out of Southport Yacht Club.

Kris Hook

I have completed more than 2,000nm of ocean passages as a crew member on Ocean Gem. In this time I’ve experienced a very committed skipper who always puts the safety of the crew and the boat at top of the list.

Joanne Harpur

Offshore sailing is not always fun, it can be cold, tiring, and unforgiving. Would I sail with David Hows on Ocean Gem again? Absolutely.

Kevin Holland

David is a true gentleman, a wonderful mentor and the type of person I aspire to be like. Nothing was a problem for him or the others. I never was made to feel bad for making mistakes and this provided an opportunity to improve, improvise and learn.

Lena Padukova

On our recent Trans-Tasman passage from Auckland to Southport, David again proved he is a great skipper, very competent, skilful and high-performing, but also respectful and patient. His organisational skills are exemplary; nothing is left to chance. He’s a competent leader and a great guy.

Mike Stone

Highlights for me were the great company, all the sailing experiences I could handle, the company of dolphins every day and the achievement of an adventure and ocean race, I have dreamed of often over the years and now realised.

April Seymour

David stays calm and totally patient with us taking the time to get the job done without adding any extra pressure or stress. I definitely learned a lot and the experience will make me a better skipper.

Steve Tucker

As a skipper, a team mate and sailor David is exceptional. The environment he creates is relaxed and yet his competitiveness is infectious.

Mark Gallick

Sailing with David Hows was a great experience and made me realise – yes I do want to get another sailboat. David makes everyone feel “safe and comfortable”

Tim Wolff

Sailing on Ocean Gem is the highlight of my week. David’s passion and enthusiasm for sailing Ocean Gem is contagious and has had a positive impact on my life.

Ian Mackay

Ian Mackay about Benedikt Clauberg, skipper of Beneteau First 47.7 Kali “I wanted to thank you for a great sailing experience in the Round Barbados Race”

Christy MacLeod

Three words to describe my experience with Sail Race Crew: Experts, Education, Adventure! The foundation is a wonderful feeling of welcome and support.

Natasha Edwards

It was an experience of epic proportions. The support and encouragement by skipper David Hows was brilliant. There is something compelling about the ocean.
